RandR 1.3 Has Officially Been Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on March 06, 2009

Present in X Server 1.6 is the server component to RandR 1.3, but today version 1.3 of the Resize and Rotate extension has been officially released. RandR 1.3 introduces panning support and other changes that we have talked about previously. The components released today were randrproto 1.3.0 and libXrandr 1.3.0. There are also some new options within the xrandr utility.

RandR 1.3 support can already be found within the Intel and ATI drivers.

Cheers to Matthias Hopf and all developers involved.
